Master System 1, Genesis Model 1, Mega Drive Model 1 to RGBS HD15 (DE-15 D-Sub) Coaxial Pro cable, broadcast-grade 75Ω mini-coax, fully double-shielded with dedicated grounds.

⚠️
This cable can greatly improve video quality, however it will not completely eliminate “jailbars” due to design issues within the console. An internal RGB bypass upgrade is required to resolve this issue.

Compatibility:

  • Genesis Model 1 (NTSC-U)
  • Mega Drive Model 1 (PAL, NTSC-J)
  • Master System 1 (NTSC-U/J, PAL)

Not Compatible With:

  • Master System 1 “MK-2000” (NTSC-J, Japan)
  • Master System 1 (SECAM France)
  • Master System 2
  • Mega Drive Model 1 (SECAM, France)
  • Mega Drive Model 2, Genesis Model 2
  • 32X
  • Neo Geo
  • TurboDuo, PC Engine Duo, Duo-R
  • Commodore 64 Ultimate
⚠️
This is not a VGA cable. HD15 (DE-15 D-Sub) cables are configured for 15kHz RGBS (not 31 kHz RGBHV) and are generally incompatible with VGA monitors.

For Use With:

Features:

  • 3.5mm (1/8″) TRS aux jack for front Stereo Audio injection.
  • Included TRS 3.5mm aux cable for front Stereo Audio injection on the Genesis Model 1, Mega Drive Model 1.
  • Series termination resistors installed directly at the console output establish 75Ω source impedance matching the cable, reducing reflections and interference for improved RGB video quality. Many other cables place these resistors inside the SCART connector, ignoring best practice and compromising video accuracy.
  • Genuine Kemet premium 220 µF Tantalum AC coupling capacitors within the console connector provide clean, precise RGBS signals at the source, preventing unwanted DC bias along the cable, preserving accurate color, contrast and brightness.
  • Integrated sync buffer provides a problem-free TTL (5V) Composite Sync (CSync) signal on pin 13, effectively eliminating timing errors and ensuring reliable video synchronization.
  • Stereo audio jack with included aux cable.
MINI-COAX CABLE

Miniature Coaxial ("Mini-Coax") is a benchmark professional-grade cable developed exclusively for Retro Access to deliver the highest possible analog audio and video quality out of your retro gaming systems.

Mini-Coax maintains a true 75Ω characteristic impedance, with each signal line featuring a polyethylene dielectric for precision impedance control and full coverage individually shielded copper spiral wrap with isolated grounds. Thicker and higher quality, its fully double-shielded construction blocks crosstalk, rejects external interference, and meets professional studio and broadcast-grade standards. It is the only RGB cable of its kind.

  • Prevents signal reflections, ringing and ghosting for uncompromised video fidelity.
  • Virtually eliminates the color bleed crosstalk and audio buzzing experienced in lower quality cables.
  • Maintains brightness and color accuracy, providing crisp RGB, especially over lengths beyond 6 ft (1.8 m).
